Izadora

This morning Izadora had a drop of something on one of her teats. Steven Marchal will meet with me today to help do a foal predictor test on her at 2:00pm today. We are so excited to see this foal. Izadora is a black, true 16.2 hands, a purebred Trakehner and her gaits are unbelievable! She was taken to the Trakehner inspections and got an 8 for her canter. Her trot was even better. Warmbloods sometimes don't have as good of canter as they should but Izadora is the complete package. Her foal can't be ANYTHING but FANTASTIC! Hope she has a girl, this is one foal that should be kept until shown but if it is a colt we will try to sell even if we have to drop the price. Just can't have another stallion on the place that is not a purebred Friesian.
Darcy got to come today on our walk, Rhoda thinks we are not playing enough with her and that is why she ate the sock. Rhoda is still house sitting and Darcy must be missing her. Darcy is actually now doing the entire walk with us instead of waiting by the car when she thinks she should quit. We finished the walk with the rain again starting. It was just a drizzle but more is predicted.
Ciara was lying in her favorite spot between the hay and the fence and her head and neck was actually on the wrong side of the fence. She didn't look up when her name was called so over the fence and through the mud I go, when she sees me she pulls her head in and stands up. That was a totally unnecessary trip through the mud!
I'll update more after we do the "test".
3:15pm: Well the test is so far off the wrong way that it looks like it will be 2 weeks before she is ready. It was colostrum on her teat but when we went to test it the calcium did not show up at all.
We left her in the day is still drizzling. Since I had time, Raven was taken out and brought over to the mares to see if Kesha's mare would come up. This is the 18th day since we got her covered last and there is no sign of her coming back in season. She is probably pregnant but we will need to keep checking for a while. I'm not sure Kesha wants a sonagram, will have to contact her and ask. Raven was FULL of himself, he hasn't been busy for 18 days and he really didn't want to leave the mares. When he was being taken over to the field for grazing he tried to buck, kick, shy, pull, just about anything to be able to run. He finally settled down and started grazing and got about 45 minutes of good green grass. After he was put back the last cutting round bales were checked and they will ALL need to be moved out of the barn. They are ALL molding. I'm praying about what to do with them. I may line them up 2 high on the west end of the far paddock as a shelter from the wind.
